Most whole cell biocatalysts have some problems with yields and productivities because of various metabolites produced as byproducts and limitations of substrate uptake. We propose a psychrophile-based simple biocatalyst (PSCat) for efficient bio-production using mesophilic enzymes expressed in psychrophilic Shewanella livingstonensis Ac10 cells whose basic metabolism was inactivated by heat treatment. The PSCat was applied for 3-HPA and aspartic acid production by using Klebsiella pneumoniae dhaB genes. 3-HPA and aspartic acid was stoichiometrically produced with the complete consumption of glycerol at a high production rate.
